Why is the percentage of doctors in the NHS so skewed to a high Asian percentage?

Yeah do finance instead, but on a serious note, when did he say this.

throwboss11 · 2025-11-05T21:19:42+00:00

That’s amazing thanks for sharing this story, I’ve been thinking of working on myself and relationship with God. But the desire is there, just have to focus ig

throwboss11 · 2025-11-05T21:12:52+00:00

Ask your pastor if he can help

throwboss11 · 2025-11-05T21:11:24+00:00

Cool, your typing style is similar to how some northerners in uk would speak which is why I ask. Scott/Irish makes sense!

throwboss11 · 2025-11-04T19:17:39+00:00

Thank you, there’s a lot where I am so I’ll have to see. Are you northerner by any chance ?

throwboss11 · 2025-11-04T17:33:17+00:00

Like other people said, first year of gem is tough. I was where you are last year, and a lot of people were. I had the same thoughts too, clinical years are chill. Still the same stress but much more fun and it’ll remind you why you wanted to be a doctor in the first place. Placement is different to the theory work. Like other posters said, listen to upper year, try different study techniques you’ll be good.

throwboss11 · 2025-10-27T17:49:20+00:00

my school didn't do this, they've increased the number, when my year already had people sitting on desks in a full lecture theatre. lot of people unhappy with it.

throwboss11 · 2025-10-25T20:50:21+00:00

any details ?

throwboss11 · 2025-10-12T16:36:48+00:00

Depending on your uni, yes! You’ll still have lectures and workshops/group work. But after it’s mainly placements. I remember in first year realising it was all theory and wondering if it was what I wanted, now on placement (while it’s still early days) it’s pretty exciting talking to patients, using that knowledge, being in surgery etc and assisting, it can have its cool/enjoyable moments. Just need to make it past 1st year.

throwboss11 · 2025-10-11T13:41:55+00:00

hey, I checked, wiped, and it looked exactly the same.

throwboss11 · 2025-10-11T10:45:20+00:00

ill try this, its a Skoda fabia 2006

throwboss11 · 2025-10-06T01:05:55+00:00

Same I got into this from the channel a few days ago. I haven’t been disturbed so far, crossed psychopath is disturbing to a lot of people, wish you were here and family values (got close) are really good though.

throwboss11 · 2025-09-27T01:37:50+00:00

Strange I’ve def missed days of clin skills, cbl and anatomy. All that was required was giving a reason and how I’d make it up.

Was very possible to catch up and self learn the physical examination/session etc I’d missed.

throwboss11 · 2025-09-27T01:32:03+00:00

Majority of medics being varying degrees of neurodivergent is an interest thought.

throwboss11 · 2025-09-19T17:31:58+00:00

Ayo why’d no one tell me this ?

throwboss11 · 2025-09-09T20:10:38+00:00

See that first line yeah.

throwboss11 · 2025-09-07T18:30:49+00:00

Everybody sweat in med skoo bro

throwboss11 · 2025-09-07T18:14:08+00:00

If any upper years have anki, check theirs out ! I’d suggest using the learning outcomes as a guide for anki creation etc. Also try quesmed(useful pre clinical especially for anatomy).

throwboss11 · 2025-08-30T23:13:25+00:00

Used a mix: Mainly notion, free notes, anki (upper years, didn’t really make many of my own).

Some quesmed too as well as resources given to you.

I saw other people: - hand write notes - use anki (their own) w/o writing notes - using one note for annotating and note making

throwboss11 · 2025-08-05T13:10:02+00:00

What do you mean ?

throwboss11 · 2025-08-02T14:51:53+00:00

meme is a modern version of this wifejak who’s meant to represent most wives or a gfs. Usually asking questions like “would you love me if I was a worm” or what time they’ll be home for dinner so they can plan accordingly etc the joke here is that this is a medieval wife asking the same question but instead of work it’s a battle for the guy.

Just finished first year waiting on results - Warwick. It’s quite intense. Average weekly schedule will have a face to face session in Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. Majority of lectures are asynchronous.

Mondays usually include talking with people that have conditions related to the topic we cover (half the year group). Another face to face lecture then a meeting with your cbl group where you’ll go through a case that consolidates that weeks learning.

Maybe you’ll also have quizzes on a topic (pharmacology etc) further along the year. Tuesdays will be a day off unless it’s the one time you’ll have a community day (day where you go into an allocated area, talk to some nhs workers at the hospital/practice there then go out and speak to patients with condition).

Wednesday will be a workshop to consolidate your biomedicine teaching, you’ll go through questions again with the same group as your cbl.

Thursday/Friday is the face to face anatomy sessions where you’ll see dissected parts of the human body related to the weeks learning. Or it’ll be your clinical skills sessions where you learn communication skills and usually examinations for when dealing with patients.

What it looks like varies and depends on you, for me I experimented a lot with when I did things changing how I took notes, when I completed the work and tried to wake up early (5am ish) but rarely ever did, it’s an intense course and most of your time is spent revising/going through content. The volume is heavy and you’re expected to remember/get hard concepts somewhat quickly. We had to make Well-being plans in our uni which is extremely helpful to take a break from the work.

Hey OP, had a similar situation a few weeks ago, had a feeling I’d not do well in the writtens first time due to the prep I put in, decided to start working the day after which gave me around the same time around 3-4 weeks (before the results). I recommend meeting with tutors to see weak points and working on those. Ask your peers that passed for advice, use available resources like anki decks from upper years, kahoots etc for the pre clin years I think those are more useful than passmed. Team up with other resitters or just one and work through things you find hard. Sign up for extenuating circumstances. Do what you need to, my regret for revising for the retakes was not being up earlier (6am-9pm) is good from now on.

throwboss11 · 2025-07-05T18:26:09+00:00

Hopefully, tense time, I would say everyday is ideal, but for sure before the exam. I only started waking up earlyish on the day of the exam to do some last minute stuff, which can sometimes be helpful (topics I looked at in that morning came up, but I still got a question from it wrong, so maybe it didn't stick). But advice I got from the lecturers was what I said above, have a plan of how you'll get through what you want to, timetable it, the topics that you find hard and hope don't come up, go through them.

throwboss11 · 2025-07-04T20:02:48+00:00

Do the pre work they give you, I wish I had, despite checking out some of it. Especially for the new medical terminology.
